These HOn2, drilled crosstie QuickSticks strips for straight trackwork provide the craftsman with a fast and efficient method for finishing straight lengths of soldered Fixed track built with a Fast Tracks assembly fixture.

Part of the Fast Tracks Infinite™ Track System each laser cut strip is a lattice of wood ties that are glued directly to the roadbed and are designed to accommodate the soldered PC Board ties.

Strips can be linked together using a TieClip connector to form strips of any length. Strips can also be connected to any other Fast Tracks QuickSticks product (used to construct Turnouts, Wyes, etc.) and can be shortened if necessary.

The skeleton trackwork (the rail and PC Board Ties) built in a Fast Tracks assembly fixture is simply set on top of the QuickSticks Strips and spiked or glued into place. Empty areas are strategically located along the strip to accommodate the PC Board Ties that are used for building trackwork in assembly fixture.

Each strip includes a TieClip connector for connecting the strip to another crosstie strip. You can order additional TieClips here.

The QuickSticks on this page are the drilled version. We offer Quicksticks with either drilled or non-drilled wood ties. The version you choose is a matter of personal preference. The non-drilled version has trackwork fastened to it with Pliobond adhesive. Plionbond will provide a solid bond for a lifetime as its bond increases over time and is very reliable. Spiking onto our drilled QuickSticks will provide a mechanical bond that some modelers prefer, but requires a bit more time to install. Not all ties are pre-drilled, only ties at key locations to allow the turnout to be fastened in place.
